meri bhanwon ke ain darmiyan ban gaya
jabin pe intizar ka nishan ban gaya

suna hua tha hijr mustaqil tanaw hai
wahi hua mera badan kaman ban gaya

muhib chup mein aahaton ka wahima hawa
main sar se panw tak tamam kan ban gaya

hawa se raushni se rabta nahin raha
jidhar thin khidkiyan udhar makan ban gaya

shurua din se ghar main sun raha tha is liye
sukut meri madari zaban ban gaya

aur ek din khinchi hui lakir mit gai
guman yaqin bana yaqin guman ban gaya

kai khafif gham mile malal ban gae
zara zara si katranon se than ban gaya

mere badon ne aadatan chuna tha ek dasht
wo bas gaya 'rahim' yar-khan ban gaya
